I live in the Rocky Mountains and I see this shit all the time. Everybody thinks they're a special little Disney princess, and they are shocked, absolutely shocked, when Bambi freaks out and kicks them in the face. As if that weren't the sensible reaction to being cornered by an apex predator.
Wild animals are dangerous and unpredictable. Just leave them alone. Even the cute ones can hurt you.
